Women on the Line
A.I.R. Gallery meets Studio 44

Women on the Line explores the formal and metaphorical implications of lines. To suggest that someone or something is “on the line” is to acknowledge both its vulnerability and necessity.

This metaphor is particularly potent for the artists of A.I.R. Gallery, whose 45-year old mission has always been to support a demographic of artists whose work has been systematically underrepresented and critically under-recognized. Their feminist desires and demands have been embedded into the structure of the gallery and continue to unfold in their artistic practices. To this day, some A.I.R. artists explicitly create feminist projects while others address feminism in more abstract modes. The intent is not to identify an essentializing femininity; rather, the exhibition demonstrates how feminist artists today are furthering women artists’ concerns through formal and emotive techniques.

GERALDINE HUDSON & PER ÅHLUND

For the past year artists Geraldine Hudson and Per Åhlund have been exploring the human fascination of communicating with the dead.

Taking into consideration the popular 19th century practice of seances, the discourse regarding acceptance of death as an existential state and the practice of death rituals throughout different time periods and cultures.
Using analogue photography and sound recording as base material, this project has resulted in a piece to be presented in three parts.
The first part, manifesting as an installation, shall be unveiled on Friday 13th of January in the Project Room of Studio 44.

During the exhibition two 'Death Salons' are taking place. These are to be open discussion groups regarding the philosophical and emotional implications of death.
